It is going to be a multi-polar world where nations will co-operate according to their interests and strenghts .
USA is going back home and I would say that within 20 years there would be no US bases in European soil.

Shoigu is also powerfull within Rodina and we don't know whether Shoigu's talk has had Putin's pre-permission or not .
I am intrigued. Are you suggesting that Rodina may not be following Putin's script any more?
Belgium , I friggin blame Belgium .
Agreed. Bloody Belgians.
With Shoigu , Rodina has a better chance to attain better life ; I think Russian people look at Shoigu and see a hero of USSR .
Compare to Putin's KGB background , Shoigu's background is seen as better bet .
Belgium should be given to English .

It already is; the question is whether the international conventions and institutions will continue to function, or if they will be replaced by general lawlessness. Unfortunately, as the United States withdraws, I see lawlessness ahead.

There will be no American bases, but a troop presence will remain so long as Russia's neighbors do not trust it. We'll definitely be bugging out of East Asia soon, however.

No, your Der Spiegel link is blowing it out of proportion. The B-52 intercept was routine and safe and no different than we do with their aircraft all the tone.
He flew close, saw it was a transport with a fighter escort, and left the area once he had identification.

That depends on what you consider European. The US will always have bases in Britain.
